香港運動治療師總會祝大家中秋節快樂！🥮✨

在中秋佳節享受美食的同時，記得保持積極恢復（Active Recovery）！

總會為大家送上三個健康小貼士，讓你喺假期行氣活血、杜絕痠痛，過一個充滿活力嘅中秋：

1. 食完月餅行多步： 傳統月餅比較油膩，食完一輪豐富嘅團圓飯，不妨同家人去賞月兼散步 15 至 20 分鐘。除咗可以促進腸胃蠕動，仲有助血液循環。

2.「茶壺式」脊椎拉伸： 同親友做「低頭族」長途開槓、打牌或者坐得太耐，條腰很容易又硬又痛。試下雙腳企到膊頭咁寬，一手叉腰，另一隻手向頭頂上方延伸側彎。維持 20 秒，然後換邊，即刻幫腰椎減壓。

3. 飲茶更要多補水： 節日大餐同月餅通常比較高鈉，容易導致身體水腫同肌肉繃緊。飲傳統濃茶之餘，記得補充足夠清水，維持肌肉水分與彈性。

祝大家過一個健康、有活力又可以充分休息嘅中秋節！🥮💪

Balance your festive indulgence with active recovery this Mid-Autumn Festival!

Sports Therapists Association of HK recommends these three essential tips to keep your body moving, pain-free, and fully charged during the holidays:

1. Active Walking After Mooncakes: Enjoying rich treats is part of the tradition. Help your digestion and circulation by taking a light 15-to-20-minute walk after your meal while moon-gazing.

2. The "Teapot" Spine Stretch: Extended sitting during family gatherings can stiffen your lower back. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, place one hand on your hip, and gently reach the other arm over your head to stretch your sides. Hold for 20 seconds on each side.

3. Hydrate to Flush and Recover: Traditional mooncakes and savory festive dinners can be high in sodium, leading to fluid retention and muscle tightness. Counteract this by matching your tea intake with plenty of fresh water to keep your muscles supple.

Wishing you a healthy, active, and rejuvenating Mid-Autumn Festival! 🥮💪
